  1. I am confused as to what the correct info about this is; I've been told the threading is different and it does seem that way, also the case is phong 5514, it has accepted a 703 tube in the past, I have an ataya 702 and it gets stuck (in the past ataya 702 worked like a charm in my HH5514). I found a psot from 10 years ago: 

     

    which addressed this and also the solution but this seems out of my league so instead of trying to solve this myself I might be better of with a watchmaker, any suggestions in the EU who might be able to help me out?

     

    thanks!

     

  2. Hi :)

    it's been a while since I last posted here but I've never lost track of RWG and would like so advice from the rolex vintage experts; I have a phong case which has the fitting for a 703 tube but I would like to use a 702 instead; any idea if a conversion  is possible (or who might be able to do this in the EU)? thanks in advance for your input!

  3. Been 14 years or longer, can't really remember. Some names resonate a bit but there was so much information at that time for me it wasn't until Eddielee, lello, TTK, Maria, River, Ubi, Zigmeister, Palpatine, that I started remembering names (and of course you are still one of them Nanuq :)) been lurking these last few years, haven't added much reps to the collection but still happy with what I've got :) I wish you all the best and really nice to see many of us oldies are still around :)

  4. Slay, Awesome inserts! I went a little overboard with fading one so if anyone is Looking for a Ghost insert drop me a Pm (you van have it at no extra charge for the aging, I just like to have enough $ to get a new one from slay ) and since every insert responses differently to the aging process inwas able to hold back on the second I got from you and it really worked well; I wanted to go for a worn but bot too much faded insert;

    So it’s slightly aged and really Goes well with the rest of the setup

  5. For now it has a Pre-V 202/a caseback from Jakob (that's the only spare one I had :) ). The case is an old JimmyF, sead cg, original crown and C3 crystal, the parts have received a PVD coating from Rolli a few years ago. The strap is a Dirk with refurbished logo buckle.

    I know this dial is an acquired taste but the color and structure of the dial is really something special :)

  6. Hi guys, quick question; I bought a noob pam 111 from a member and upon arrival I couldn't get the crown out (for adjusting hours/minutes) instead when I tried winding it the hours and minutes were moving (and no winding at all), the member told me the watch was ok when he send it out so perhaps something happened in transport, perhaps some of you have had this issue and hopefully there's an easy fix, could anybody give me a suggestion as to what to do in order to solve it? i tried replacing the crown/stem but this had no effect. I'm still a novice when it comes down to movement issues so I hope somebody can give me some pointers as to how this can easily be fixed :) thanks in advance! cheers, fitch

  7. The modds over at RG told me he was banned but this seemed to have happen right after I send payment (I can only assume they acted on the other member who wrote the OP still owed him money). The topic is closed at the moment so I can't edit or update my post. I would like to do this as another member has intermediated and wrote that the OP couldnt get into his pm box and find my contact info, so there is still a change all things will work out for me because I got in touch with the OP who promised to send the watch out tomorrow... I'll keep you updated when I have additional info :)
